Tariffs have brought billions of dollars to America. Guess the democrats and the media like it better when America is paying these countries taffies. Perhaps the democrats make money that way.
Anything trumpy says is a lie.
Hey America, India doesn't want to do business with you either! With your lying about how you brokered a peace deal with India and Pakistan was the one of the biggest lie you brokered in your freaking mind!
There are a lot of uneducated, anti-Americans in the comments. I guess they want the United States to fall through support of their Deep State agenda.
So he’s doing something that is working?
"tactics"…😂 This clown has no idea what he is doing this has been obvious from the start
The delusional A H specs of power he doesn't have.
This might be the dumbest reporter I’ve ever seen.
Will somebody please tell the oligarchy that Globalism is Dead. And when have we EVER had world peace ?????
Welcome to the transactional realism of Trump 2.0
Who paid for this stupid thinking?
If there's anyone who knows nasty it's Captain Chaos. And this is propaganda presentation for Trump's "I win, you lose" philosophy.
You don't win people over by threatening them!
He uses tariffs everywhere because he has no other ideas.
The art of threats is nothing more than bullying. He's putting the United States in a position that can isolate this country from receiving and exporting goods and services. This short sighted diplomacy may not be the best approach.
Extortion much?
Trump's a bully. He was a bully as a child; he was a bully in military school; he was a bully in real estate; he was a bully on TV; and he's a bully now.
The goalposts never move, the players just change…this kicker can hit 75 yarders
Israel is back in Gaza already
The world sees him for what he is, a f#*king conman! It’s lied to Americans & Elon rainman musk that got him back in to power. The fake religious project 2025 could care less about him, they just want their white america back, they know he won’t be alive for to much longer, they are just praying his dementia doesn’t go full blown till he completely dismantles the government & has ice turn into the presidents on personal army! The military should step in & remove him, his regime & all enablers! And the American people should remove billionaires who are behind most of the world’s bulls#*t!
Well dear the only thing he's brokered is farmers who can't sell their products, citizens paying bailouts, and high prices…stop the propaganda videos…everything you said was a lie
Trump can levee tariffs without congress. That’s why he’s obsessed with tariffs. It’s all he’s got. He should try working with the Congress and Senate committees. No one gets far on their own.
Trump is a clown pos
Wrong he hasn't stopped any wars. Pakistan and India deny this. Fake news
"You gotta nice country there' it'd be a shame if something happened to it" Capisce?
President Trump is the best president in my lifetime. I left the Democrat party because of him.
OMG
MSNBC is actually reporting the truth . How about President Trump
Blackmailer in chief.
He is a one trick pony, and his trick does not scale up to international standards
No he is making money personally for his businesses and corporate sponsors not for any of these nations or America. Not a single war has stopped. Here is a better tactic – stop funding wars and selling weapons try that.
Short term gain that leads to long term pain. Country’s are going to position themselves so this can never happen again and open new trading links with other countries.
It’s going to fall long term, orange diaper filling loser😂
It’s going to fall long term, orange diaper filling loser😂
Talks about investments aren’t actually investments. It’s like an IOU. SMH.
It’s going to fall long term, orange diaper filling loser😂
Asian peace deals ? Who is at war in the east ?
Delusional.
Bit how long with it will work till two more towers fall down it crazy once the stick is gone if he get mad at one of them !
Thank you for saying that President Trump had a very successful Asia trip
Trash network
Fuc trump ty
Trump is like a demolition ball in a chinastore when it comes to diplomacy. It is completely out of his league like everything else politically. But then again he is elected in a country where 40% of the population is so badly educated, that the country ranks 37 in literacy and 54% of the adult population reads below a 6th grade level
Immature commentary
For a country who needs more than they have to offer how is that working out 10 months later.
The government shutdown occurred because Senate Democrats rejected a Republican funding bill, leading to a failure to pass necessary appropriations. This standoff is primarily over healthcare funding for undocumented immigrants and policy disagreements between the two parties.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats kept their promise to reject any Republican spending bill that didn’t extend or restore health care benefits to undocumented immigrants, choosing instead to force a government shutdown. Now they have to figure out how to get out of it.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Meanwhile, Democrats have asserted Republicans are at fault for continuing the shutdown instead of working with Democrats to make a deal. The Republicans are being pushed by Democrats to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies to undocumented immigrants.
